How do I make my Xbox series X save data locally instead of to the cloud?

I'm Samy an independent advisor. Welcome to the Xbox community. How are you?

Clean your console's MAC and restart your internet devices for a few minutes

Network Settings> Advanced Settings> Alternate MAC address and Clear.

If the problem persists reset the console to factory defaults, you won't lose anything but you will need to log in with your account again. Email and password are required.

Follow this path and select reset keeping games and app.

In 5 to 10 minutes you will finish reconfiguring your console

To reset the console>

Settings> System> Console Info> Reset Console

**Do not reset the console without having your login information such as email and password

This moderator is clearly copying and pasting old data from the Xbox One days. This troubleshoot doesn’t work on Xbox Series X or S consoles.

“Cloud saved games” isn’t an option anymore.

I can’t find how to force a cloud sync. I can’t play Starfield on my other console in another room because the data won’t sync.

What’s the point of cloud saving if it doesn’t actually save???

I'm having trouble recovering console data for WWE 2k15, but instead I keep loading old cloud data I saved on the cloud, how can I load my console data instead of the cloud data.

Hello,

I appreciate you taking the time to respond. However, almost everything you posted is completely inaccurate.

For example:

"...you can check how much space is available or used by each game in the Settings menu..." Nope, not for the cloud you can't.

"...You can also make local backups of your game data by copying them to an external hard drive or a USB flash drive. To disable the cloud storage altogether, you can go to Settings > System > Storage > Clear local Xbox 360 storage." Nope! Copying to a local drive, as I mentioned above, simply deletes the local save data and will not copy it back. I am also on an XBox X, not a 360, and no, you cannot disable cloud storage, nor does your sentence even make sense as it suggests deleting the local data is how you would disable cloud storage. Also, if you read my post, you'd know that the very last thing that I wanted to do was to delete the local data!

"This will delete all the cloud-synced data from your console, but not from the cloud itself. You can still access your cloud data on another console or device by signing in with your Microsoft account." Nope! My data wasn't in the cloud--the cloud is the problem!!!

Thank you for not reading my post and offering nothing whatsoever that was helpful. This is precisely why Microsoft support sucks so terribly, and why I wish I had never purchased an XBox in the first place.

You CAN actually delete your save game data locally on your xbox and leave it in the cloud. Go to your games/apps section in dashboard and go to the game in question. There are options to delete the local save game data and save game data in the cloud. You
can delete local data or delete local and cloud data.
